Sentido 2019 Sentido 2019

By itself, a good hotel: a huge well-groomed area, several swimming pools (including heated ones), attentive staff. We settled immediately upon arrival at night (we traveled by transfer from Hurghada airport), which was a pleasant surprise, because dinner was waiting in the room, for the first time in Egypt I meet this. The room was on the second floor, residential buildings in the Moroccan style, two-story. Near the hotel, behind the gate across the road, a supermarket with souvenirs, perfumes, leather goods - I recommend, prices are 2-3 times less than in souvenir boutiques on site, the owners are pleasant to talk to.
As for food: there was meat and fruit every day, I liked fresh dates, and, well, Egyptian beer; the local wine is not very good, like our Isabella. I did not try strong drinks, but judging by the fact that almost no one ordered them, the quality is not nice. On the territory, in addition to the main restaurant, there are also restaurants of national cuisine and bars with drinks and ice cream. If you're not a vegan, you won't go hungry.
And now about the bad, this of course concerns entry into the sea. There is no pier, so you have to walk 500 meters knee-deep on the shallows to swim / snorkel. At the same time, it is very desirable to have something on your feet, even corals, even flippers, since there are rocky areas, and sea urchins come across from the ichthyofauna, I saw entire colonies, 10-15 individuals each. There were few fish, turtles / octopuses / dolphins were not at all. From excursions I took diving from a hotel guide, it was expensive, it cost 95 bucks (that is, 3 times more expensive than, for example, in Turkey). It would be better, of course, to book excursions in a third-party agency, it would be cheaper, but I was too lazy to bother. In the sea near Port Ghalib, when a friendly team snorkeled on the surface, they saw a manatee - he sailed for lunch with algae. The return transfer went on schedule, Tez Tour worked well.
